The maternal and child health handbook app 'Boshimo', operated by Boshimo Co., Ltd., has been introduced in Tonosho Town, Katori District, Chiba Prefecture, and has been available since Wednesday, April 1st, as the maternal and child health handbook app 'Koju Hapi'.
Tonosho Town, guided by the basic philosophy of "Tonosho: A child-rearing town full of smiles, raised by the community, supported by the community," is strengthening local cooperation to enhance childcare support, protecting children's rights, and promoting community development where all families can raise children with peace of mind.
This time, 'Boshimo', which has been adopted by over 830 municipalities and allows paper maternal and child health handbook data to be recorded digitally, was selected. The operation begins in light of the Children and Families Agency's policy to promote the use of electronic maternal and child health handbooks and maternal and child health DX.
'Boshimo' is an app that easily supports the management of vaccination schedules and health checkup results, as well as the distribution of local information, via smartphones, tablets, and PCs. Because the data is stored in the cloud, it serves as a backup in case the maternal and child health handbook is lost due to disasters, and it also supports continuous use when moving to other municipalities or changing devices, allowing users to continue using it with peace of mind.

In Tonosho Town, midwives provide childcare consultations for pregnant women and mothers raising children. In addition to responding to health consultations, breast milk care, and breastfeeding consultations, the town also conducts postpartum care programs (home visits, day care, overnight stays) for babies and mothers, as well as baby food consultations by dietitians. Through these efforts, the town is establishing a system where people can raise children with peace of mind while connecting with the community, creating an environment where they do not have to carry the anxieties and worries of childcare alone.
Furthermore, to support child-rearing households that will bear the next generation and wish for the healthy growth of children, the town provides a "Child-Rearing Support Congratulatory Gift." The town provides 100,000 yen as a birth congratulatory gift, 50,000 yen for entering elementary school, and 50,000 yen for entering junior high school per child, promoting support for child-rearing families and the development of a vibrant town.
This time, 'Boshimo' was adopted as a new tool for disseminating childcare information so that child-rearing households can utilize the town's initiatives more conveniently.
**◆Firmly supporting pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare with a community-based childcare app!**
'Koju Hapi', the maternal and child health handbook app adopted by Tonosho Town, is a service compatible with smartphones, tablets, and PCs. It is packed with convenient functions to help busy mothers and fathers balancing childcare and work, such as recording and managing health data of pregnant women and children, managing vaccination schedules, providing advice on childbirth and childcare, sharing functions with family members such as grandparents living far away, and notifying users of local information distributed by the town.
"Anniversary of Achievements," which can be used as a childcare diary, was created based on the maternal and child health handbook format examples of the Children and Families Agency. It not only allows users to record anniversaries related to developmental stages and childcare, including the "Guardian's Record" of the maternal and child health handbook, with photos and messages, but also serves as a guideline for children's growth and development.
In addition, even when social environmental changes occur due to the impact of infectious diseases, important information such as advisory information from local governments and advice from public health nurses can be delivered immediately via text and video to those who need it through the app, supporting the creation of an environment where people can give birth and raise children with peace of mind even in emergencies.
